Poor Laura. Her life just gets worse and worse. The ending of this book was devastating. I know I'm not supposed to feel that way, but I do think there are hints that Wilder is looking back with some trepidation.

"The last time always seems sad, but it isn’t really. The end of one thing is only the beginning of another.”

Oooooh, I am so sad to be near the end of this series. Reading Laura's experience as she becomes a teacher made me laugh, because I continue to have all the same thoughts. It was so bittersweet to get to the part where Laura finally marries Almanzo and moves away from home.

Cozy and lovely.

There's something so wistful and lovely about growing up and moving on, and this book just captures that mood beautifully.
